SynopsisFrom New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.Growing up, the three of us were friends. He was the nerd. I was the playboy. She was the beauty.
Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.He lied.
I went off to college, and he got the girl. Amber never knew how I felt.
They were together for years—before he broke her heart.
Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch. When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.
Still reeling from her breakup, she’d sworn off men.One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She’d hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings. Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy—curiosity. Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message. She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend— me. But she considered me off-limits—and she thought I was a manwhore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.) Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Nine at a hotel.
When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she got the surprise of her life to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.

G9,Is that what your friends call you? I like that. Thanks for the answers.That’s an interesting question—why tonight of all nights? Well, I saw my ex tagged on Facebook with another woman, and that put me over the edge. But it’s more than that. Lately, I’ve developed a strong attraction to a good friend of mine, and that’s sort of screwing with me a bit. He’s actually temporarily living in my condo, but he’s someone I’ve known for years. I’ve always thought he was extremely handsome, but it’s complicated. He and I would not be a good match romantically. He’s not the monogamous type, or at least, he never used to be. We’re better off as friends. He was also the best friend of my ex years back, so there’s that. Having him around, though, has made me more sensitized to my sexual desires. Little things like the waft of his scent, the way he touches the small of my back when he passes by me in the kitchen…it’s like my body is on this constant state of alert. So, I was thinking if I could just—for lack of a better word—get laid, maybe I could get this feeling out of my system.
—AmberMy jaw was open as I just sat there staring at the screen.
Holy shit.
I read it again.
And again.
And again.
I honestly didn’t think that Amber felt that way about me. She would always make jokes about me being good-looking, but her attraction to Rory proved that her taste wasn’t exactly conventional. Now, I really felt like shit for invading her privacy, because there was no way she would’ve been okay with confessing that to me. I never imagined any of this had to do with me. I’d assumed it was solely about Rory.
She wanted to use another man to f*ck me out of her system?
That revelation left me shocked and confused—not to mention hard as f*ck thinking about the fact that Amber wanted me.

Teagan's words screamed from the screen of my phone. My heart started pounding and I started to sweat. I felt like I might pass out as I was sucked into a vortex of emotions and memories I'd tried desperately to forget.

Teagan Tessler was the love of my life. My professional soccer career was a big part of the future we planned to have together, but an offer with Arsenal, one of England's premier soccer teams, sent me to London a year ahead of schedule. Just months after I left, Teagan betrayed me with my best friend without an explanation. I was completely and utterly destroyed.

Six years later, I can finally breathe again and my professional and personal life is in a good place; but, now this. I'd have to be insane to even consider ripping open those old wounds, but whatever she needed, it had to be huge.

The truth of my feelings resonated: I should shut off the phone and forget her forever, but my traitorous heart told me to get on a plane, no questions asked.

One decision can ruin your life... Maybe another one can save it.

Excerpt

A veil drops over her eyes
and the laugh disappears. Whatever happened in therapy opened up too
many old wounds she won’t show me. Right now, anyway. Then I think
about what just took place between us, and I question my own sanity.
What the fuck was I thinking? Sex and business should never mix. I
broke one of my cardinal rules. I didn’t just break it, I
pulverized the damn thing, and it’s now scattered into dust. Maybe
I should pretend it didn’t happen.

But I can’t do that. And
why? Because it was the most epic sex of my life. And it was with
Midnight, someone I’ve developed feelings for. How the hell did
that happen?

Leaning down, I take my
tongue and give her pussy one last, long swipe. Then I stand and go
into the bathroom to dispose of the condom. When I’m done, I pick
up my discarded clothes and get dressed. Her eyes practically burn
through the skin on my back, which isn’t exactly the most
comfortable feeling.

Before I leave, I walk next
to the bed. “I’ll be back tomorrow around the same time. And
don’t tell me you didn’t like what happened between us. If you
do, I’ll call you a fucking liar,” I say. I want to kiss her, but
I don’t. Instead, I tug at one of her nipples and the response is
immediate. She sucks in her breath and my dick twitches in my pants.
I have to get out of here before I strip off my jeans and push said
dick back inside her swollen pussy. I’m pretty fucking sure she’d
be willing too.

On my way out, she says,
“Tomorrow, I want Italian. Make it spaghetti Bolognese. And find a
place that serves the best. If you’re going to fuck me like this, I
need to keep up my strength.”

The corners of my mouth curve
up. “Yes, ma’am. Anything else?”

“Yes. A bottle of Barolo, a
Caesar salad, and some great bread. You pick the bread. And butter,
none of that olive oil. Bread needs butter.”

“Demanding, aren’t you?”

“Not at all. You have the
opportunity to choose your own entrée because I never share.”

I chuckle. “Dessert?”

“Surprise me.”

I’d like to surprise her,
but I don’t think I have a single trick up my sleeve that she
hasn’t seen or experienced. That should bother me, but it doesn’t.
At least not yet.

My Review

*ARC received in return for an honest reviewI have loved this series which follows the lives of friends Weston, Prescott & Harrison and their respective not-quite-so-smooth paths to true love.

In my opinion, each book has just gotten better and better, ending with Harrison’s story.

Craving Midnight is filled with drama, angst, passion, danger and the author's very funny style of humour. Another winner, I have no doubt. I freakin' loved it!!!!

Once again A.M. Hargrove took me on emotional journey which had me hooked from page one and kept me reading until 7am, I couldn’t put it down!

I have shouted in fury, cried, laughed and damn near combusted from the hot passion between Harrison & Midnight. Their chemistry together was through the roof, they are one HOT couple!

The flashbacks had me gripping my kindle so tight with the suspense and anxiety of how events would play out, that my palms were sweaty. At one point my heart hurt so much for Midnight so much I thought it would break. Although this can be read as a standalone I’d recommend reading in order as the characters do crossover slightly, it would also give you a better understanding of their backgrounds, avoid possible spoilers and give a more enjoyable reading experience. Reading order:

A Special Obsession

Chasing Vivi

Craving Midnight

If you love flawed but strong characters, emotional roller coasters and gripping drama-filled plots then Craving Midnight is definitely the book for you. I can’t recommend it highly enough and wait with baited breath to see what treasure A.M. Hargrove brings us next!!

My rating...
